Data Visualization with Rule Based Color in Column Graph

arafmustavi — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 07:47:06 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I have a summarised Dataset where the Fields are like this.
Category -- Budget -- Consumed

A -- 1000 -- 500

B -- 4000 -- 4500

Now I want to Generate a Bar Graph with Budget vs Consumption. I want my Consumption bars to become red when it will cross the Budget Field and it will remain Green when it is below the Budget line.

Any DAX Formula or suggestion how to achieve this please?

arafmustavi I created this measure:

Color = SWITCH( TRUE(), SUM('Table'[Consumed]) > SUM('Table'[Budget]), "Red", "Green" )

In the visual settings on the Bars colors I used the conditional formatting (Fx) option:

Then set it to this:

Hi arafmustavi ,

1. IF you want the whole consumed bar to become green or red:

As SpartaBI mentioned before, you can use conditional formatting to change the color. However if you want to generate a Bar Graph with Budget vs Consumption, you will not be able to use conditional formatting. You can use line and clustered column chart to achieve this goal.

Please try:

First add values to the field like this:

Then create a measure for conditional formatting :

Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[Consumed])>MAX('Table'[Budget]),"Red","Green")

Apply it to the columns

Turn on the Data labels:

Final output:

2. If you want the part of the bar that below the budget line become green and the over part become red:
Please try:
Create these measure:

Below Budget = IF(MAX('Table'[Consumed])>MAX('Table'[Budget]),MAX('Table'[Budget]),MAX('Table'[Consumed])) Over Budget = IF(MAX('Table'[Consumed])>MAX('Table'[Budget]),MAX('Table'[Consumed])-MAX('Table'[Budget]),0)

Then apply it to stacked bar chart:

Use these measure to create constant line:

Line A = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Category]="A"),[Budget]) Line B = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Category]="B"),[Budget])

Final output:
